Episode 1427 So is this bido a failure? (2)
The sound of leisurely footsteps rings. It was the sound of Jang Il-so walking in the center of the party house.
Although we were delayed for a while because of an old man, it was a small thing at best. Any thoughts about the party review had already been completely erased from his mind.
Instead, what caught his eye were the half-collapsed palaces of Tang Dynasty. The appearance of intact and burned-out pavilions scattered here and there seems to be a miniature version of the current powerhouse.
A strange feeling came over me.
“Ryeonju! “We searched everywhere, but there doesn’t seem to be anyone left here.”
“You’re wasting your strength unnecessarily. Even if it means nothing.”
Jeok-ho bowed his head in response to Jang Il-so’s scolding.
If there is a family of about five generations, at least one place to hide is prepared within the family. I suspected that they might be hiding there by burning down the building, but it seems to have been a futile effort. Confusion flashed across Jeokho’s face.
‘Does that mean… the Tang family really threw away their family and ran away?’
That Sacheondanga?
It is clear that even Jang Ilso could not have predicted this situation. If you could have predicted this situation even just a little bit, you wouldn’t be the type of person who would go in vain, right?
“Hmm.”
Jang Il-so let out a soft nasal noise as if he knew his feelings.
“⋯⋯Which one?”
“yes?”
“Has the party gone crazy? Or is it that my prestige has become higher than I thought? Enough to make that Sacheondang family run away obsequiously, leaving behind their own home?”
Probably both.
The Sacheondang family they knew would never have abandoned their family. The fact that those people ran away means that the current party is not the party they used to know.
And even if they had changed, they would not have made this choice if the person coming to trample on them was not the defeated Jang Il-so. Even if it meant death, he would have fought here.
Jang Il-so’s eyes sank gloomily.
Whatever the reason, it’s not very nice when something happens that deviates from predictions. It feels like I poured ice water on my heart, which was heated by destroying ARMY and Jeomchang. An inexplicable feeling of discomfort scratched my stomach.
“Go to Sacheondang… Anyway, the people involved with Cheon Woo-maeng are all causing trouble to people. Or should I say they are the ones involved with that child?”
A chuckle escaped from Jang Il-so’s mouth.
There will be no relationship. There is no way the Hwasan Sword Association could do anything at this distance.
However, Jang Il-so could not let go of the thought that strangely, this incident might have been influenced by the Hwasan Sword Association.
“He’s such a troublesome child.”
I was worried that something like this might happen, so I drove it all the way to the east, but it continues to annoy people even from this far away.
Jang Il-so licked his lips slowly. It was a moment when an evil light flickered in both eyes.
“Ryeonju!”
One of the Hong dogs ran over and bowed down in front of Jang Il-so.
“We found the traces of their movements. “It’s north.”
Jang Il-so nods his head. Of course it’s north. Because there is no other way for them to survive.
“What is the scale?”
“Everyone. It appears that even the personnel in Dangata moved at once.”
Jang Il-so’s eyes narrowed as if this news was unexpected.
“at once?”
“yes!”
His red lips twitched for a moment.
“Hmm. So… are you saying that you are gathering all the people in Dangata and running away together?”
“Yes, Lord Ryeon!”
Jang Il-so laughed as if it was absurd.
“That’s such a strange thing. I know that the Tang family is a place where there is a strict distinction between direct lineage and collateral lineage… but they are gathering not only those who are not in the direct lineage but also women and children and running away together? “Even children who haven’t learned martial arts?”
“⋯⋯.”
“Hey, if it’s going to be different…”
Jang Il-so’s gaze turned north.
“I wish I had been a little smarter. Is not it?”
Jeokho nodded.
If Jang Il-so had scattered the family members in all directions with the determination to sacrifice half of them, it would not have been easy for Jang Il-so to deal with it. Because you can’t be sure who to hold on to and who to let go until you catch them.
But isn’t running away in one direction like blatantly shaking your butt for someone to chase you?
“It’s not my type of thing to chase after someone, but… it would be heartless not to chase after someone who tempts you this much. I’m trying to prepare. “We have to catch them before they leave Sacheon.”
“Yes, Lord Ryeon!”
It was the moment when Hong Gyeon immediately tried to follow orders.
“Oh, before that.”
“⋯⋯Yes?”
Jang Il-so said as he slowly looked around the half-collapsed temple halls of the Tang family.
“If someone has made a big decision… wouldn’t it be a blessing for a kind person to help them make that decision?”
A bright smile appeared on Jang Il-so’s face.
“Set everything on fire. Let there not be a single thing with the name of the Tang family left in this land of Sacheon. Even the ashes are blown away by the wind, so that they all scatter and disappear.”
“Yes, Lord Ryeon!”
Everyone bowed their heads once and ran in perfect order. Jang Il-so’s lips parted slightly.
“What about… “Danggunak.”
How will he accept this result?
With this, the Sacheondang family lost its roots. Due to the characteristics of the Tang family, they will never be able to regain the prestige that the Tang family has now.
Nevertheless, does Tanggunak really say that this choice was the right one?
The descendants of the Tang family have cursed and criticized Tang military evil for generations, but can he still praise those who abandoned their family for doing a good job?
Even though Sichuan Danga can never again be called the loser of the Central Plains?
“Hypocrisy is a disease at that level.”
Jang Il-so chuckled.
I feel sorry. Regretful. So wouldn’t it be possible to show him a little mercy?
Grumble!
Flames rose from all directions.
The slowly burning flames soon grew huge like the devil’s maw and engulfed the remaining temples of Sacheondanga.
Everything about Sacheon Dangga, which was famous throughout the world as a noble family of Sacheon and the master of poison, is on fire.
A flame so large that it could be seen from the entire city. This was like a beacon signaling that the land of Sacheon had been subjugated under the feet of Sapaeryeon.
The light emitted from the fire cast a dark shadow on Jang Il-so’s face. Jang Il-so, who was watching the burning temples with a strange smile, soon turned around without regret.
“Let’s go.”
“yes!”
The mercy he can show to Tang Gunak.
That is, Tanggunak makes it easy to let go of lingering regrets. If all the people who tried to run away die, they will be able to get angry and resentful without having to hide their true feelings.
In any case, you will end up shedding tears of blood and cursing that even the foundation of your party home was burned while trying to protect all your lives in vain.
“I really feel so good about it.”
Jang Il-so laughed as if he was embarrassed and walked lightly.
The goal is north.
It was a place where members of the Tang family fled.
❀ ❀ ❀
Paaaaat!
Tanggunak, which was hitting the ground hard, was shocked for a moment and slowed down.
When I glanced back, the distance behind me had widened again. Even though we know that we should keep pace and move together, we keep rushing ahead.
He pursed his lips tightly.
Know.
They are already exhausted. No, even if they are not tired, there are only a few people who can follow the light attack that Tang Gunak deploys with all his might.
So, there is no need to keep showing this side of yourself and revealing your urgent feelings. It has no meaning anyway and just makes me anxious.
Even though you clearly know that fact, your mind keeps running ahead and you end up making mistakes.
Tang Gunak glanced down and saw Cheongmyeong on his side.
‘Hwasan Sword Association.’
Tanggunak also knows. How much of an unreasonable act are you putting yourself through right now? The Hwasan Sword Association and the Five Swords are not in a normal state right now. Anyone who knows anything about medicine will foam at the mouth and exclaim. I definitely need some rest.
However, the stubbornness of party evil is making it difficult for them. For something that may already be too late.
But…
“Matriarch!”
At that moment, Hyeonjong, who had followed up next to me, spoke out of breath.
“I’m sorry, matriarch. “You must be anxious, but our inaction…”
Tang Gunak bit his lip in even more despair.
Why are you apologizing?
It’s not just volcanoes that aren’t keeping up with him properly. Even the elites of the party are unable to keep up. But why does Hyeonjong bow his head to him?
Tang Gunak said with a devastated heart.
“sorry. But please give us a little more strength. “We have almost reached Sacheon, so Chengdu is only a short distance away.”
“yes! Do not worry. “Even if my leg explodes and I die, I will die when I get to Tangga.”
At those words, Tanggunak glanced back.
Sure enough, the five swords that followed Hyeonjong also had a determined look on their faces. Even though deep down, you want to sit down and collapse right now.
‘What if…’
If even one member of the Tang family can be saved at the end of this forced march, the Sichuan Tang family will owe a debt to Huashan that will never be repaid. Tanggunak clearly engraved that fact in his heart.
And that moment.
Beep!
Everyone quickly looked up at the sharp bird cry heard in the sky.
“It’s open! “It is clearly a jeonseogu blown in the open air of Sichuan!”
Thoughts were short and actions were quick.
Tanggunak suddenly kicked off the ground and soared into the air. I stretched out my hand and grabbed the flying Jeon Seo-gu.
widely!
He got down again and with his lightning-like touch opened the letter box hanging from Jeon Seo-gu’s feet. Tang Gunak’s face visibly hardened as he quickly checked the secret paper inside.
“Matriarch, what is it about?”
“⋯⋯ Look.”
Tanggunak presented the paper in his hand to King Hyeonjong. Hyeonjong’s face also hardened after confirming the contents.
[Go south in the direction of Jeomchang other than Haomun. [He is traveling north in pursuit of the survivors of the Maninbang Sacheondang family.]
Although only the situation is conveyed succinctly, the meaning of the situation is by no means concise.
“Are you saying they were split in two?”
“⋯⋯I think so.”
There was a look of bewilderment in Hyeonjong’s eyes.
No matter which side they were targeting, we would have been able to deal with it if we had moved together. However, if they are divided into two groups… it is impossible to help both.
If the already insufficient number of people is divided into two, the worst situation could occur in which Hwasan and the party are destroyed individually.
Yoonjong, who heard the situation from behind, shouted as if there was nothing to think about.
“What are you thinking? Then, let’s go north first! “Isn’t there a Tang song there?”
Of course, this is an obvious conclusion.
However, the embarrassment and agony on the faces of King Hyeonjong and Tang Gunak deepened even further.
“⋯⋯This is it.”
Hyunjong thought in a slightly trembling voice. Tang Gunak bit his lip.
– You must definitely save the fortune teller.
The words of the court delivered by the legal community with renewed confidence. Now I have come to realize painfully what the intention was.
